If anything, Biden is more liked.

It seems to be working to Biden's advantage and making Trump look bad.

The people who believe the corruption allegations are people who weren't going to vote for Biden in the first place.

Trump is running scared.

Means you are doing something right,

...

Biden delivers his words clearly, he doesn't dodge issues, he looks the audience in the eye. Sure he nuances here or there, but you feel like he's being as open as he should be and as honest as he can be. I don't feel like he's bottling up the truth to prevent me from seeing it, nor creating lies and smokescreens to deceive me. Compare him to McConnell. Or both Bushes, or Lindsey, or Tom Cotton, McCarthy, Gingrich. They are totally spinning it. You won't find Biden releasing more pollution and telling you the rivers are cleaner than they've ever been.

So no, I don't think they've dirtied up Biden. Biden is like Obama in that regard.

that the GOP can't fathom. GOP enjoys lying to get their way. That feeds their invincibility, privilege, and arrogance. Biden don't need any of it.

To bring him down!!

Some have chosen to grovel in the gutter, Joe is above that. It’s what the country wants in poll after poll article after article

Go Joe go... the demise of your campaign rides only into the dust bins of spin!!

We’ve got your back

World likes him, too.
The allies anyway.

Joe Biden has a phenomenal record as follower of the rules. He didn't use political power to make himself wealthy. All of the wealth he has now is from what he and Jill did with their own money they made from their jobs which led to real estate purchases, money from books they have written and other normal things like pensions and retirement accounts, etc.

There were ugly lies about him on the Senate floor during the impeachment trial. So it will probably get worse and would explain some recent drops in polling.

His favorable has gone from +31 to +18

They did the same thing to Hillary. She'd recovered to about +30 favorable as Secretary of State in 2012. Benghazi & email pounding .... as of 2019, -29

Your posting Gallup. PLEASE

Here's Hillary's favorable numbers from Real Clear Politics with many polls including Gallup largely showing the damage Benghazi & the email scandal and GOP attack ads did.
https://www.realclearpolitics.com/epolls/other/clinton_favorableunfavorable-1131.html
Gallup generally reflects those results whether you like them or not.

Unlike RCP, Gallup keeps doing it for politicians so their numbers are more current.

For Biden, the RCP numbers are much worse than Gallup

In 2018 Joe was +20 to +33.
Now, he's -5

All this BS crap Trump and the GOP are spewing about Burisma and the Ukraine is exacting a cost to his public perception.

Obama's favorability wasn't immune to attacks like "he's a Muslim" or "he's a Kenyan" or "death panels" either.

So Joe is in pretty good company. But we can't ignore the fact that this lying the GOP is doing about him is hurting his candidacy.

I'd have to say not likely.

...for you input...

...I used to agree but now I'm not so sure...

...

It's created a set of swamp-type images. Even though there's no proof that Biden or his son ever did anything illegal. It just "looks bad" that Biden was in charge of Ukraine policy and then his son was hired for this job.

Doesn't matter that the Trump spawn and spawn-in-laws are profiting from Trump being in the WH.

The story still lands on the Democrats.

...you may be right...


" It just "looks bad" that Biden was in charge of Ukraine policy and then his son was hired for this job. "


...that's a shame...

...

no,just cheap shots from those who wish their candidates were doing as well.

Not by definition, anyway - unless it can be proven that Vice President Biden actively helped Hunter Biden in some way.

As far as we know, that did not happen.

In fact, the opposite may be true, as the Vice President continued to pressure the Ukraine government to redouble their efforts against corruption, potentially putting young Biden in harm's way because of his choices.

um......YES

nepotism
noun [ U ] formal disapproving
UK /ˈnep.ə.tɪ.zəm/ US /ˈnep.ə.tɪ.zəm/

the act of using your power or influence to get good jobs or unfair advantages for members of your own family

Voters know this!! They know dotard and his ilk lie. No one is buying what dotard and the crap gop are saying.

If that were the case it would have happened long before this!!

And all these bogus attacks are just calling attention to Biden's obvious character and integrity. Trump has given Biden a lot of unsolicited media attention and in the process, people are seeing what kind of a person he is.

was posted by a Sanders supporter...even before I clicked the link.

...

...

See, we're so polarized that most Dems and Indys who have been paying attention will vote against Trump no matter what. We could be running my year-old Siamese cat and I'd vote for him over Trump!

And, anyone who will still be voting for Trump already hates Biden. And Bernie. And Amy, Pete, Elizabeth, Andrew - they have demonized all of our candidates, and us too.

She's not exactly the most savvy person and admits it. She's one of those people who think there are always two sides to every story. Problem is, she can't tell which one is correct.

even though it's unjustified, much like Hillary had to deal with Uranium 1, Benghazi, emails, etc. Despite them all being completely stupid arguments against her, it still hurt her politically.

Otherwise I believe Trump fatigue is a real thing and his bullshit won’t have much impact on bread and butter kitchen table voters in the Midwest that will determine who the next President will be. Trump’s Achilles heel will be him touting the economy throughout the Midwest. Hillary did this in terms of Obama’s economy and it made her look tone deaf.

Sometime around late Summer early fall there will be a swift boat type media blitz on the Biden, Burizma thing if he get the nomination. How much will people believe it or how effective it will be, is the big question. It appears that Dimitri Firtash, the Russian Oligarch who is in Austria and being held for extradition to the US, is funding the ground work through Rudy. Rudy is getting the supposed information from the ex Ukrainan prosecutors, who were dismissed for corruption, or pro Russian politicians. In other words it will be Russian propaganda.

sure are trying hard. Not very successfully.

Shame!

The job just sounds so much worse imo, than the phone call does. Many probably don't care if Biden didn't break any rules and Trump did. They will judge based on what they think SHOULD be illegal. So yes it probably does hurt him.

1) Hunter's done nothing worse than Ivanka has done. Unseemly, perhaps, but not demonstrably illegal.
2) Joe is Joe. Joe is not Hunter.
3) It's a little perplexing to think about how much political influence Burisma was theoretically buying. At the time Huner got the job, it looked like his dad would possibly be retiring from politics.
4) Extorting a foreign power for personal political gain is super corrupt. It's Banana Republic dictator stuff.

trump is scared of Joe Biden

I hope his supporters begin to reflect his character better than the current crop, else he'll keep hemorrhaging in the polls.

from someone making it as a power play? Then we have sunk very low.

There are big differences such as Giuliani going around making a fool of himself on every television network in the country, Trump being betrayed by multiple close associates, and the networks have done a much much better job not giving as much legitimacy to the lies. It's a very different narrative being painted than before.

The GOP voting to not call witnesses while 75% of the public wants them won't help their case either. Then you throw in Trump hiring Dershowitz, who is probably the worst attorney in the nation to hire right now.

Basically, Trump and the GOP have done nearly everything wrong up to this point, and the needle hasn't moved in any direction. The current dire situation is despite their smear campaigns, not because of them.

Trump knocks people off one at a time. If you/we allow Trump to do this to our people, no one will be safe from him. Especially Bernie.

...working hard to keep mentions of those smears against Biden up to date on DU, aren't you...

... ...

...do you think that the GOP's enthusiastic support will help or 'dirty' Bernie?...
